n If your scooter is equipped with a reclining seat, do not operate the vehicle with the seat in the reclined
position.
n Do not leave the key in the switch when your Dynamo is unattended.
n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and that the key is removed from the key switch before
getting on or off of your Dynamo, and make certain that the seat is in a locked position when you
operate your Dynamo.
n Reduce your Dynamo’s speed when you are operating it on uneven terrain and soft surfaces.
n Reduce your Dynamo’s speed when you are driving it around a corner.
n Never drive your Dynamo across the side of a hill or diagonally up or down a hill, and do not stop, if
possible, while driving up or down an incline.
n Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline and when
driving near a raised surface or unprotected ledges and drop offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
n Never remove your Dynamo’s anti-tip wheels or modify the Dynamo in any way that is not authorized
by Pride.
n Use extreme caution when operating your Dynamo on busy streets and in parking lots or shopping
malls and never ride your Dynamo where you cannot safely and legally walk. Consult local municipal
or state agencies with regard to operating your Dynamo on public roadways.
n Do not operate your Dynamo while you are under the influence of alcohol.
n Check with your physician if you are taking any medications that may affect your ability to operate your
Dynamo safely.
n Keep your hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard when you are operating your Dynamo.
n Make certain that the tires are properly inflated (30 psi).
n Never use your Dynamo scooter as a seat in a moving vehicle.
n Make certain that the Dynamo’s batteries are properly secured when you transport your scooter in
another vehicle.
n Disconnect your Dynamo’s batteries if you will not be using the scooter for more than 48 hours.
n Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
WARNING! Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture (rain, snow,
mist, or washing the scooter) at any time. Such exposure can damage the elec-
tronics. Never attempt to ride a scooter that has been exposed to moisture until
it has dried thoroughly.
WARNING! Do not operate or store the scooter where it may be exposed to
inclement weather conditions such as rain, snow, mist, and below-freezing tem-
peratures (such as storage on an outside car/van lift). Attempting to operate the
scooter in such conditions can damage the electronics and potentially result in
loss of control.
WARNING! Do not operate a scooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted
surfaces (i.e., walks or roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal in-
jury, or adversely affect the performance and/or safety of your scooter.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge
a frozen battery. This will damage the battery and may cause personal injury.
Attempting to charge a battery in freezing conditions does not prevent a battery
from freezing.
